    First of all, thanks for the amazing plugin. Saved me tons of work. But…. (why is there always one 😉

    Each time I upload an image to the media folder, there’s a thumbnail generated with a 16×16 addition to the filename. The only location it’s coming from is the class-cptm.php. I thought the thumbnail was only for the admin-area?

    I’m about to upload 60.000+ posts + images (yup… a lot!) and not really keen on adding another 60.000+ thumbnails I don’t use. I’ve disabled the function in the .php file so it doesn’t do that anymore (one thumbnail for the admin is enough 😉 so I’m good for now but maybe something to consider in a next update that the thumbnail is only generated for the image selected as Icon and not for every image uploaded?

    Keep up the amazing work/support! Much appreciated.

    Cheers,

    Leon

    Hi @ldeejay,

    Thank you for the kind words.

    I don’t really see how we can address this without rewriting the image upload part as we need previews for the admin icon and it would take quite a bit of work to write a custom upload and resize functionality.

    It’s not vital and 16x16px is quite a small size. You have a unique case here where this can become an issue, but for the majority of the users this is just a minor nuisance.

    Therefore we cannot invest the time to rewrite it right now, however if you have the time you’re free to submit a PR here: https://github.com/Graffino/Custom-Post-Type-Maker

    Cheers,
    Zeno.

    Zeno,

    I totally understand this. I’ve resolved the issue for now for myself. As repayment for your work I’ll see if I can look into this after my current project and see what I can come up with. Then I can also suggest changes to the ‘edit icon’ text … ? I assumed it was a link to an icon editor but instead it’s just ‘change icon’.

    No worries.
    Expect more of me in the near future 🙂

    Cheers,

    Leon

    Thanks :), yes we’re non native speakers. We’ll fix that in an upcoming release.
